I’ve logged in for maybe an hour to check out the new Blood Moon content, but my current 9400GT is so horrible that it’s hard to play. I have to play at half screen resolution and low settings, which makes everything super fuzzy.
From what I can tell, there is no easy way to find the Blood Moon content. You have to either run around all over the place, or use the chat channels to work together with other people. I guess that’s not a bad thing. It does promote teaming up, but I’m so used to soloing in CO that it’s a bit of a pain.
The Champions Online Wiki page now has all the relevant quest and content information for the Blood Moon event.
Cryptic posted a nice summary page of all the Blood Moon content, including the perks, figurines and other rewards.
The new Zombie Apocalypse PvP minigame is actually kinda fun. You end up killing dozens (hundreds?) of zombies, which gets really annoying. But once people start dying, it gets a bit crazy and hectic. I’m not sure how much strategy is involved, other than keeping together and using AoE attacks. But it’s kinda similar to the Left4Dead zombie survival gameplay, which is a good thing. In all my games, I was one of the last people to die and turn into a zombie, but playing as a zombie and picking off heroes looks fun. I received around 2200′ish acclaim for each 10-15minute game. I don’t know the experience reward, since I only used my level 40 to play.
Here is a nice map that someone put together that highlights the portals for the 13 undead heroes in Millennium City. Right now, there is an annoying 2 hour timer for each portal (and I think a couple are bugged). But by tomorrow, the timers are being reduced to 30 minutes, which should make it more bearable. Try to team up and share missions as much as possible. It’s far easier than trying to do it solo.

Played a couple of the instances where you rescue the dead heroes. They are kind of repetative, but there is an easy way to get through them. The regular zombies drop Pet Items (I can’t remember all of them, but Bone Whistle is one) are really helpful with the bosses. Especially if you have a ranged character.
The zombie will melee the Boss, and you can sit back and plug away from a safe distance. The healing drops are helpful too.
Torchlight is a worth while demo to download and check out just thought I would throw that out there.
@Meths
Heh, I’ve actually been playing Torchlight. Works great since my computer is limping along with a crappy graphics card right now. I was even going to write a short blog post, but I got lazy, hah.
Ok, so I need some thoughts on which version of Dragon Age Origins to get. Console or PC? I will probably have to rent a XBOX one and see.
To much clicking in games makes my hand hurt fast so I really dont know what the game involves yet.
